What do you like the most about winter? I bet it’s not the flu. Learn how to use medicinal herbs to boost immunity. Winter demands special care of ourselves both internally and externally. And so does our health. And the risk has increased after the start of the pandemic. So, we should be extra careful in this season. Otherwise, the cold winds and changing weather will overtake our health.

When nature brings the challenge, it presents the solution as well. Today we will learn about five such solutions by nature. These herbs will keep you happy and healthy throughout the winter. So, you will be able to enjoy the season without any fear. We will also find the answer to the question: is kratom legal in Florida? Let us get started.

Indian gooseberry (amla)

It is also known as amla. It is the richest source of Vitamin C, A, E, iron, calcium, and antioxidants. That means it can boost immunity. Not only this, but it is incredible for skin as well.

One can directly consume it as a fruit or dry them naturally for future usage. The dried amla is powdered and used in mixed herb tea. There are hundreds of recipes to administer this herb in your diet.

You can also grow gooseberry plants in your garden. It is not a high-maintenance plant.

It is beneficial for youngsters, old and adults. But, a person who has undergone surgery should avoid it. Learn how to develop an amla plant.

Benefits of amla include:

  • Boosts immunity
  • Fights deficiency of Vitamin C
  • Promotes healthy hair growth
  • Carves healthy skin
  • Improves blood circulation
  • Give rise to stringer blood vessels
  • Improves vision
  • Improves heart health

Licorice root (mulethi)

It is a legume belonging to a bean plant. It is a native of North Africa, western Asia, and Southern Europe. It is rich in glycyrrhizin acid, also called the licorice component.

Liquorice or liquorice has medicinal properties. The highly preferred part of this plant is its roots. Earlier, people used it as a flavoring agent. Even now, several candies come from mulethi. You can find licorice sticks and powder in the market. Mulethi is a powerful herb. Though it offers several benefits, you should monitor its consumption as the administration of glycyrrhizin acid can cause adverse effects.

Benefits of mulethi include:

  • Fights respiratory disease such as asthma
  • Improves digestion
  • Helps fighting pathogens 
  • Anti-inflammatory
  • Improves blood circulation
  • Lowers cholesterol level
  • Treats skin ailments

Indian Ginseng 

There are several names for this plant. In India, it is called ashwagandha. In parts of Africa, it is called winter cherry. It is an annual evergreen plant primarily cultivated in India, the Middle East, and South Africa that goes by the scientific name Withania somnifera. This herb is the fundamental ingredient of Ayurvedic medicines.

The formulators make use of the fruits and roots of ashwagandha. This herb was in use for more than a hundred years in India. We find its use as a Rasayana. It means something which maintains physical and mental health. Though, studies are required to prove its effectiveness.

Benefits of Indian ginseng include:

  • Improves the quality of sleep
  • Releases stress
  • Relieves from the body and joint pain
  • Increases white blood cell count
  • Treats thyroid malfunctioning
  • Supports good respiratory function
  • Reduces inflammation
  • Improves erectile dysfunction

Kratom

Kratom’s scientific name is Mitragyna speciosa. It is a tropical green plant cultivated in South Africa, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Myanmar. It belongs to the coffee family. It has been in Africa since the nineteenth century. People used it to treat pain, ingestion, and stress. They are used as a sedative too. Modern-day sciences see it as an opioid. Hence, several institutions have banned its usage. Studies are continuously taking place to establish its effectiveness.

There are several strains of kratom in the market, such as:

  • White vein kratom
  • Green vein kratom
  • Red vein kratom
  • Yellow vein kratom

The color of the leaf vein changes as the herb matures. And with maturity, the deposition of nutrients and their sedative action increases.

Benefits of kratom include:

  • Relieves cough and cold
  • Releases stress
  • Improves sleep and treats related disorders
  • Fights depression and anxiety
  • Lowers blood sugar level
  • Acts as an analgesic
  • Soothes diarrhea
  • Lower blood pressure level

Is kratom legal in Florida?

Kratom is a prevalent herb. But due to the dearth of studies, its legalization faces issues in parts of the world. Kratom is legal in most of Florida. But, the FDA has not allowed it for therapeutic purposes. Most Government Health agencies view this herb as a drug. Recently the FDA has released warnings about the usage of kratom, however, recent studies have disputed FDA claims.

Basil 

Basil, tulsi or the great basil, is the most potent herb. The essence of tulsi has several medicinal purposes. Basil is also sacred in India. People worship it due to its immense health benefits. Tulsi can be grown quickly. It can be eaten raw, added to tea, or used in cuisine.

Yes, you heard it. Basil’s great taste has made it an essential ingredient in several cousins. There are several hybrids of basil, such as sweet basil, lemon basil, and Thai basil. One can use any part of this plant. You can also use its steam to treat throat and nose infections.

Benefits of basil include:

  • Acts as a natural immunity booster
  • Fights cough and congestion
  • Improves digestion
  • Helps withstand diseases
  • It prevents fat from building up
  • Clears clogged nose
  • Treats throat infection
  • Beneficial in case of kidney stones
  • Great for diabetic patients

Final words

Risk has increased after the arrival of covid-19 viruses and the pandemic’s start. Now it is essential to protect ourselves. Medicines and vaccines are there. But, one cannot depend upon them daily. We also need to boost our immunity. In such a situation, these five herbs can come handy. You can administer them in your pure herbal diet once or twice a week. It will keep you and your family healthy.

Since I can’t eat sugar (I’m on the keto diet) Since I can’t eat sugar (I’m on the keto diet), I tried putting it on my face!
This Soul Addict C🐝D Honey Mama Manuka Face Mask rocks!
You can technically eat it. And it doubles as a sugar face scrub when you’re ready to rinse off!
It has ashwagandha, camu camu, peppermint oil, full-spectrum hemp, and coconut oil to help clear redness, boost collagen, prevent acne, brighten skin and more.
Loved the minty feeling, it perked me up for half an hour after washing it off, great for fatigue! 
My almost 40 year old skin was so soft and glowing afterwards. Will definitely use again ☀️
